Hello Everyone! I would like to introduce myself as one of the new admins for this page. I have been in the military for 10 years now almost 11. Boy how time has flown. I started my journey as an Air Force Fire Fighter and than after 4 years a friend talked me into becoming his flight medic on his Blackhawk so I switched over to the Army National Guard. When we returned from Iraq they remission our unit and I was given the option to find a new job or get out. I didn't want my career to end so I went to the Air National Guard as a medic and became the Functional Training Manager for the medics in my unit. I have worked as a fire fighter paramedic in the civilian world at a fire department in the Kansas City Metro for 8 years now. I started at a private company 12 years ago as an EMT. I decided to finish my education and received my Bachelors in Human Services and am currently working on my Masters in Psychology right now. I just started my own Crisis Intervention Practice in the Kansas City area wor ...

By Spc. Donald E. Williams 129th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment CAMP GUERNSEY, Wyo. – National Guard Soldiers and Airmen teamed up to perform a combat airdrop training mission at Camp Guernsey, Wyo., June 13, 2014. This event was coordinated between the Texas Army National Guard 1st Battalion (Airborne), 143rd Infantry Regiment and Wyoming Air National Guard 153rd Air Wing as part of the 2014 Golden Coyote training exercise. “We have so many paratroopers that it’s not feasible for us to jump out of anything but Air Force aircraft,” said Maj. Wade Aubin a drop zone safety officer for the 143rd. “Golden Coyote was the first time we [partnered with] the 153rd Air Wing out of Cheyenne and they have been great to work with.” The airdrop was a historic event as it was the first airborne mission conducted during the Golden Coyote training exercise. “We’re the first Army National Guard infantry battalion to perform an airfield seizure on Camp Guernsey,” said Aubin.

Active vs. Guard: An Avoidable Pentagon War By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr. on June 28, 2013 WASHINGTON: Last year, the US Air Force fell face-first onto a buzzsaw when it proposed dramatic cuts to the Air National Guard, whose supporters raised a storm of protest in the Congress. Now there are signs that the next big budget battle will be between the regular active-duty Army and the Army National Guard. Or, under the pressure of sequester – a $500 billion cut to defense spending over the next ten years – could there even be a broader conflict that pits all four armed services’s full-time forces against their respective reserve components? “Yes to both,” said Andrew Davis, a retired Major General in the Marine Corps Reserve and now director of the influential Reserve Officers Association, in a remarkably candid conversation in ROA’s offices across the street from the US Capitol. Indeed, said Davis, “The Army has already had… tension between the three elements of their pyramid[:] the active, Res ...

Today is day to remember those military personnel we have lost in the past and present, who fought so bravely for what they believed in and to those in the present who are still serving or have served (retired). Our family sends out a great big THANK YOU. Even those two words seem so inadequate today. I especially would like to say that even though my dad and Michael's biological dad have passed, they too fought for our freedoms. My dad was in the Marine Corps and Michael's was in the Air Force. Also thank you to my husband Michael (Army, Army National Guard), my brother Michael (Army), my brothers father in law Joe Musick (Army), my uncle Sonny Haskins (Navy), our friends Clifton Cox (Navy),Daniel Hampton (Army), Jason Arnold (Army), Justin B (Army), James Sheppard (Army), Ron DeLoach (Army), and Manny Leander (Army). Let's also not forgot all the military canines who serve or have given their lives to protect others. Sending special thanks to all the spouses and children of all military members who ...

Charles Smith Ofs Weaponized Laser Equipped Drone Testing On July 26, the U.S. Air National Guard will get the green light to begin firing lasers from unmanned attack drones in a vast swath of skies over North Dakota, despite the concerns of local commercial pilots. At the Devils Lake home of the North Dakota Army National Guard, pilots train on MQ-1 Predator drones — the most prevalent unmanned attack vehicle in the military arsenal. In late June the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published an updated set of rules and regulations covering Devils Lake, creating several large restricted airspaces over the Camp Gilbert C. Grafton military base. The reason: the Air Force plans to begin tests of potentially dangerous lasers shot remotely from the drone. “Sorties will be limited to the minimum necessary for training, be confined to restricted airspace, and be executed against ground targets for laser designation, completely within an existing Army small arms weapons training range,” Billie Jo Lori ...
